In Recession,

- Real GDP , aggregate demand and national output will fall dramatically

- Unemployment will soar to the top, there will be the problem how to find job

- Inflation rates besides the cases above will tend to decrease because there will be lower demand in the economy as well.

- The government will also increase its debts because of expansionary fiscal policy and automatic stabilizers (the government will tend spend more on unemployment benefits)

- Asset prices will decrease because of less demand

- Interest rates will be cut off by central banks due to the aims of stimulating the economy

- Investments will also drop by businesses

-Taxes will tend to increase and needs some expansionary fiscal policy to decrease it

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
